xp mode

Hi guys, I emailed Microsoft support this question and got a useless answer back; they just sent me a link to download the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, which basically told me what I already knew (that my system is capable of running Windows 7). So I called them just now and the so-called...

I just purchased a Dell E6500 with Windows 7 64 bit. Everything works great EXCEPT for Internet Browsing. I tried everything I can think of and also tried some of the recommendations on the forums with no luck, includeing disabling the "Function Discovery Resource Publication". I then downloaded...

Hello, We have just released our VMLite XP Mode. Free download is available. http://www.vmlite.com (more than 6,000 copies downloaded over last few days) VMLite XP Mode offers similar functions as Microsoft XP Mode, but doesn't require hardware virtualization. It allows you to run Windows...

Hi All, I am presently (still) using the Win 7 evaluation copy (build 7100) and am attempting to install the XP Virtual Mode. As per the Link Removed I have run the compatibity detection tool and it confirms that "This computer is configured with hardware-assisted virtualization. I then...

Is MS coming up with a solution for this? Over 75% of all PC's running today have an Intel Chipset. So are they going to solve the problem or just keep saying how great it nis when only about 25% of people out there can use this feature?

Hey all, i bought a new HP computer 1 month ago, with Windows Vista on it. I then made a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade. SO as the topic says, each time i start a Game on Windows 7 and play for a while, it then starts to freeze and pixelate. I can still hear the sound from the game in...

Hell Everyone, I am using Windows 7 Professional. It seems very stable, except when XP mode is hibernating. I have found at such times that minimized files will not maximize at times; in other words, the taskbar becomes buggy. At first I thought Windows 7 was unstable, but this problem does not...

I have a printer (Xerox WorkCentre PE220) that doesn't yet have Windows 7 drivers. Managed to work around that by using Windows Virtual PC and installing XP Mode. Problem is I need to start Windows XP Mode whenever I want to use the printer. Is there anyway to share the Printer from XP Mode with...

Greetings, I want to install XP mode on my machine except that I run into problems while installing it. I get this (it's in french). Roughly, it says: Impossible to create the virtual PC configuration. The user does not have sufficient access rights. Of course, I'm an admin on my machine, I...

All right, so I've got Windows 7 Ultimate RC 32 bit and I have the Virtual PC in XP Pro mode. I downloaded Virtual PC thinking that I could play my old games that don't work in 7 on it. Every time I try to run the games however, it says that it doesn't have a graphics card and won't run the...

I have a question about Virtual PC running in XP mode. I have an old HP Scanjet 4300c (from Windows 98:D) that I was able to use when I had XP. When I upgraded to VISTA 32 bit in no longer worked because HP did not upgrade drivers for it. Now the questions is this. When I upgrade to Windows...

I want to cross check if my application is running under "WinXP" mode in Windows 7. Is there any native API available to perform the same. The use case - My application runs on Win Xp but can't run on Win7 due to library which doesn't support Win 7. Before I decide to switch to new...

I'm looking to go 64-bit with the new Windows 7. However, I have some old games that probably wont like that. Virtualization is the easiest answer it seems. I know what Windows 7 Business has a Windows XP mode. However, Microsoft said that it will not be optimized for 3D applications. Does...

You had good reason to stick with XP and skip the Vista experience entirely. But now that the folks at Microsoft have created a new operating system that's worth moving to, they haven't made the upgrade easy, because you have to perform a clean install of the OS. Here are the issues you need to...

If I load windows 7 64bit, and install windows xp mode, will I be able to run the virtual XP in 32bit mode or will I be forced to use a 64bit virtual? It seems like I should be able to use either one, but i wanted to find out for sure before I reinstall to load the 64bit version. I'm currenty...

I am planning to build a new rig and enpower it with Windows 7 , professional version . I know that Windows 7 provides a WinXP mode to users, which can be ran seamlessly in Win7's VHD. Microsoft also provides a pre-built WinXP image [ WindowsXPMode_xxx.exe ] to users . However, can i...

Hi all I apologise in advance if this has already been discussed or answered elsewhere on this forum. I have a Genius HR6X Slimline scanner which worked on my old XP OS but since upgrading to W7 RC it says it does not support it. I was then told to install XP Mode and Virtualization files so...

Ok.. Here we go.. (sorry for my english) I installed win7 last week and everything is working real fine except one thing and that is the delay on ventrilo. I guess this have been discussed a lot of times or have it? Its kind of anyoing.. The sound will however appear if i press the "setup"...

Hey everyone, I just upgraded my Mobo and CPU and installed Virtual Machine and XP mode so I could use my Nostromo game pad for COD WAW and it installed fine but when I go to load the game I get an error telling me to insert the correct disk in the drive. WTF? It sees the disk in the drive on...
